190: Chapter 190 Your biggest mistake was messing with my daughter.

"Puh—"

A mouthful of devilish blood mixed with darkness origin and shattered Law, like a black fountain, sprayed wildly from Carlos's mouth.

His body of a Half-step Immortal King, which had just been as imposing as an ancient devil mountain, now looked like a deflated ball, rapidly shriveling and shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, it went from the sky-blocking ten thousand zhang back to its original, unremarkable size.

No, even more miserable than before.

His devilish body was covered in hideous cracks caused by the inability to withstand the massive power disparity. Wisps of Origin Devilish Qi uncontrollably leaked out, as if he were a shattered piece of porcelain barely glued together, ready to disintegrate at any moment.

His aura, from that high and mighty Half-step Immortal King realm that could make even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal despair, plummeted thousands of miles to hit rock bottom.

Daluo Nine Heavens... Daluo Fifth Heaven... Daluo First Heaven...

In the end, his aura was even several times weaker than it had been at the very beginning!

Falling from the clouds to Hell happened in the blink of an eye.

The suffocating Zen chanting and Sanskrit sounds on the battlefield slowly dissipated, and the ten thousand zhang of Buddha light that shrouded the world retreated like a tide, finally converging back into the body of that black-robed figure holding an infant.

That terrifying anomaly that seemed intent on turning the world into a Pure Land Buddha Kingdom vanished into thin air.

The world returned to its original, cruel state filled with blood and fire.

But something was completely different.

On the Heavenly Court side, all the soldiers remained standing solemnly, their faces still wet with tears—tears of sorrow and reverence shed for the departed heroic spirits.

But when they looked at that black-robed figure, their eyes no longer held the previous hesitation and confusion, leaving only an incomparable worship and awe, akin to that of fanatics.

Heavenly Emperor!

This was the Emperor of their Heavenly Court!

He was the supreme existence who could purify darkness with a single thought, allow heroes to return to their homeland, and decide the life and death of a Half-step Immortal King with Will Manifests as Law!

In contrast, Carlos's face was twisted beyond recognition.

Terror, unwillingness, humiliation, resentment... various emotions intertwined, making his face, composed of pure darkness, look a hundred times more hideous than the ugliest devil in the abyss.

He had lost.

Lost so thoroughly, so cowardly!

The strongest death trap he had meticulously planned for countless epochs, sparing no expense of the "Seed of Heroic Spirits" bestowed by the Dominator, had not only failed to destroy his opponent's will but had been dismissively broken by him, who had also effortlessly purified all his power sources.

What he couldn't accept most was that the man hadn't even looked at him properly from beginning to end!

It was a supreme contempt, born from the bones, ten thousand times more vicious than any verbal insult!

It was as if a divine Dragon soaring in the Nine Heavens would never care about how an ant in the mud below was jumping up and down.

He was just passing by and happened to evaporate the mud pit.

Watching Li Xuan, who was holding the child and had slowly turned away, leaving him with a desolate back, Carlos felt his remaining Divine Soul being repeatedly burned on the hottest devilish fire!

He was Carlos!

He was one of the most capable vanguards under the Dark Dominator! A dark commander who had personally destroyed several high-level immortal Domain civilizations!

When had he ever suffered such a great humiliation!

"You... cannot leave..."

Carlos squeezed a beast-like roar from his throat, staring fixedly at that back, the scarlet light in his eyes flickering wildly like a candle about to burn out.

"You cannot just leave like this!!"

"This Seat... This Seat has not lost yet!!!"

Under the stimulation of endless humiliation and anger, deep in his already crumbling Divine Soul, a wisp of the most original, most evil "Extinction Devilish Origin" personally bestowed by the Dark Dominator was forcibly ignited by him!

This was his final trump card, and also his final life!

A final strike, launched at the cost of burning everything he had, intended to take the other down with him!

"Hum—"

A thin, yet extremely condensed black beam of light, which seemed capable of piercing through eternity and corroding everything, suddenly shot out from Carlos's glabella!

This beam of light was no longer as grand in momentum as before.

It was silent, soundless, and did not even stir the surrounding Chaos Qi currents in the slightest.

Its speed transcended the shackles of time and the distance of space!

The moment it appeared, it had already reached its target!

But its target was not Li Xuan!

In Carlos's view, that man was unfathomable; even if he burned everything, he likely couldn't hurt him in the slightest.

This desperate final strike, for which he had gambled everything, was aimed at the white-clad young girl standing behind Li Xuan—Li Qingyue, who had previously immobilized his companion with a single finger and controlled the power of time!

To capture the bandits, first capture the king!

If I can't beat you, I'll kill the person you care about!

I want you to taste the pain of losing a loved one! I want your high and mighty posture to be stained with the dust of anger and sorrow!

This was Carlos, this fallen Dark Titan's final, vicious curse!

This strike was too fast!

It was so fast that even Li Changsheng, who had been on high alert with his Sword Intent locked onto Carlos, only had time to let out an angry shout, while his body couldn't react in time!

It was so fast that even Li Qingyue herself, in those cold eyes capable of discerning the flow of time, only had time to flash a hint of surprise!

The Taiyin Domain around her had just risen when that black line of death crossed the boundary of the Domain and arrived before her glabella!

Tragedy was about to happen!

In the Heavenly Court army, countless soldiers let out cries of horror!

Inside the zhou tian star boat, those big shots watching the battle all had their hearts in their throats!

However.

Just in this critical moment.

That back, holding the child and about to step out and disappear from this battlefield, stopped without any warning.

He did not look back.

He made no unnecessary movements either.

Just a sigh, colder than the ten-thousand-year black ice in the Chaos starry sky, yet calm and devoid of any worldly aura, gently rang out in everyone's Sea of Consciousness.

"Sigh..."

It was just this sigh.

The entire world seemed to have been pressed with a mute button.

That black line of extinction, which had been infinitely close to Li Qingyue's glabella and capable of corroding the daluo dao fruit, crashed into an invisible wall composed of the supreme principles of heaven and earth, stopping abruptly in mid-air, unable to advance even an inch!

Immediately after.

Li Xuan's voice, calm and waveless, yet making Carlos feel as if he had fallen into an icy abyss of the Nine Hells, slowly sounded.

"I spared your life earlier only because I felt that stepping on an ant would dirty my feet."

"But now..."

Li Xuan slowly turned around.

The expression on his face remained calm.

But in those deep eyes, the previous compassion that encompassed all things and saved all living beings had vanished without a trace.

Replacing it was a kind of absolute, pure... killing intent that made the galaxy freeze and the Dao wail!

It was not anger, not tyranny.

But a verdict of supreme will, deciding that something must be completely erased from the level of existence!

He looked at that face, which was completely twisted due to extreme fear, and said, word by word, the final judgment that made Carlos's Divine Soul shatter.

"Your biggest mistake..."

"...was attacking my daughter."

The moment the words fell!

"Zheng—!!!"

A high-pitched, ancient sword hum, seemingly crossing countless epochs, exploded without warning from behind Li Xuan!

Accompanied by the sword hum, an immortal sword with a style so ancient it was even somewhat ugly appeared out of thin air!

The sword body was neither gold nor iron, presenting a dull blood color, covered with natural patterns like cracks, and there were even several notches on the blade, looking like scrap metal dug out from the junk heap of some ancient ruin.

It had no brilliance and no energy fluctuations.

But the moment it appeared!

Throughout the eastern part of the Immortal Domain, whether in the Sword Tomb of any Sect, or within the Dantian of any Sword Immortal, regardless of grade... all immortal swords and Dharma swords let out the most shrill cries at the same time, trembling violently uncontrollably, as if they had seen the king of their kings, the Dominator of their Dominators!

They were afraid! They were submitting!

This was the first vicious weapon Li Xuan obtained from the System, and also one of the cores of the Ancient Heavenly Court's number one killing array.

lu xian sword!

This sword was born specifically for "lu xian"!

The moment it appeared, it sensed its master's unprecedented pure killing intent, as well as the dark aura that had threatened its master's offspring!

Without even waiting for Li Xuan's order!

The lu xian sword let out a joyful hum, like an ancient Vicious Beast finally released from its cage, turning into a blood-colored stream of light difficult to catch with the naked eye, and gave a light "kiss" to the black line of extinction that was imprisoned in the air.

There was no explosion.

No collision.

No sound.

Under the gaze of Carlos's pupils, which had shrunk to the size of needle points, that strongest final strike, which had condensed his lifelong cultivation, Divine Soul, and Origin...

...just... disappeared.

Like a water droplet dripped into a raging fire, it was directly evaporated from the level of Law, leaving not even a trace.

And the lu xian sword, after finishing all this, let out a hum of not being satisfied yet, and obediently hovered beside Li Xuan, its tip locking onto Carlos in the distance, exuding a sense of "urging" and "longing".

It... had not drunk enough blood!

"No... no... what kind of sword is that... what on earth is that sword?!"

Watching this scene, Carlos finally completely collapsed!

If it could be said that Li Xuan using the Great Pudu Zen Light to break his strongest backup plan had brought him shock and disbelief.

Then at this moment, this eerie immortal sword that protected its master autonomously and easily erased his final killing move brought him a kind of ultimate fear, originating from the deepest level of his life, completely incomprehensible and impossible to resist!

This man...

How many more trump cards does he have hidden?!

Does his strength have any end?!

"Run!!"

In Carlos's mind, only this one thought remained.

He no longer dared to have any thoughts of resistance, burning up the last wisp of his devilish Origin, and turned to tear open the Void Realm to flee back to that dark Boundary Sea Rift!

However, how could Li Xuan give him this chance again?

He watched the back fleeing in panic, his eyes without the slightest fluctuation.

He just reached out his right hand and gently grasped the lu xian sword that was hovering beside him, humming excitedly.

With the other hand, he made a light gesture toward the Void Realm.

An ancient array map, tattered and broken, yet exuding a terrifying aura that made the entire Chaos Star Domain tremble, slowly appeared in his palm.

It was the array map of the Zhu Xian Sword Array!
